(1) it's Gas Tank & decals were almost perfect please see included auction Click on pictures: (2) it's Engine Cases & Fork tubes etc etc were nearly Perfect (No Gouges, scratches that I could find etc etc & also even it's Original 1977 Rubber Fork Tube Boots were Very Pliable & Nicer than any bike we have seen ("even here in Southern California") in decades (3) My mechanic felt that the tires you see on this bike could have been the Original tires that SUZUKI Originally put on this bike back in 1977 when this bike was new ! (BRIDGSTONE "Moto-Cross -10" Rear & "Moto-Cross -7" Front ! ! ! ! ?.... (4) The Bikes Alloy Wheel Rims are Nearly Perfect (NO metal Alloy fatigue cracking+ NO flat spots, Kinks etc etc that I could detect ) ! ! ! (5) the bikes Upholstery & Foam seat cushion though we replaced the outer Cover they were actually FAR Better than almost any other bike we have restored in decades ! (6) All of the bikes Rubber parts seem to still be Very Flexible, Subtle and in Exceedingly Overall Nice Shape...(7) The Engine "Started Right Back Up" & RAN AMAZING ! ! ! as soon as we cleaned the fuel system & cleaned out the Carb. & installed Fresh New Gas in her she fired right back up ! ! ! (8) the inside of this bikes Fuel TANK looks almost about like an UN- CIRCULATED Coin !!!! 9) Shifter Lever & Rear Brake Lever Still & Foot Pegs etc etc All Look to be in AMAZING Condition (10) Her Tuned Exhaust System looks ~Perfect (11) she appears to have her original Chain ....Therefore... We feel this was a Very Lightly used Bike that was Fortunate enough to spend the Bulk of it's Life in a Very in a very Climatically Correct Area. ...& YES ! ..I have the "Signed off" California TITLE & Also.....We Even a copy of this Wonderful bikes "ORIGINAL SUZUKI CERTIFICATE OF MANUFACTURE" !!!

( I have her listed for a Small fraction of what Top Blue Book Would Be (Please see details below):. * * * The N.A.D.A. Blue Book "Value Guide" for a Vintage 1977 Racing SUZUKI RM 125's I believe is just a little under $5,000.00..Also, Keep in mind.This is a "California" Motorcycle which for Most any Classic Vehicle etc etc typically Brings considerably More money than bikes from other parts of the country & makes Her More Collectable...Also,This is the Very Last Year that SUZUKI Provided these AMAZING ALLOY Fuel Tanks !!! & I believe these 1977 RM 125s to be ..a Very Spirited & I think should be a "A Potentially, Truly Competitive Vintage Racing bike" & I am offering this for a Small Fraction of that amount with a "Buy it Now" of well under 2K US dollars which may sound like a fair amount of money but consider this...." Everyone I have talked to as (Well as N.A.D.A. Value Guide) states that a Really Nice 1977 -78 RM 250 Should Sell for just a little under $5.000.00 ..Also, Recently, I have seen several of these bikes that were Very Beat & Very Faded Not much left of them & (totally UN restored) selling for MORE $$$$ than my Ridiculously Low Buy It Now Price" & again they were ALL UN (NOT) Beautifully Cosmetically Restored, & looked to be fairly (VERY) Beat, Raw, UN-Cosmetically restored & More importantly all were UN-(NOT) Beautifully transformed to look like as Nice & did not Run As GREAT as this Beauty! & don't forget this Wonderful bike was in covered Storage for the better part (the Bulk) of it's life (Approx. 30+ years !!!!!!) & you will be the First New Owner since her Wonderful cosmetic restoration as detailed in this auction. Again..These Beautiful 1977 RM 125 cc SUZUKI's Should Prove to be a very Nice & Very Competitive Vintage Racer ! Compared to many Earlier Vintage Race Bikes the Front AND Rear Suspension Travel (with Easily Tunable Vastly Superior Air/Oil tunable Front Forks + Longer Travel tunable Dual Rear Accumulator Shock Struts) & even MORE Useable Horsepower than earlier years ! ! ! I believe her Vintage Race-able Super Simple & relatively Easy to Work On "Air Cooled" + "Two Stroke" Racing engine & Dual Rear Air/Oil Shock Suspension & Air/Oil Forks Makes this Beauty a Vintage Dirt Racing Winner ! *Again, This AMAZING Great Running Bike is a Dream with her AMAZING Balance & She Feels Very Nimble & Light, Natural & Extremely AGILE ..I feel ..Most Enthusiasts agree these 1977 RM 125's are a " WORLD CLASS" Vintage Dirt Racing Motorcycle ! This Vintage Racing SUZUKI RM 125's has her Original 1977 SUZUKI RM 125 Tuned Exhaust & her Vintage Original SUZUKI "PICKLE" Silencer. A BRAND NEW Professionally re-upholstered seat. We also Cleaned refurbished what looks to be the Original "HUGE" 1977 RM 125 Carburetor, & Cleaned the Entire Fuel system & added a Quality Inline Fuel Filter & added a Brand New Air Cleaner Element, & "We Installed The VERY BEST "MODAL" Trans Mission Oil". The Front and rear suspension visually looked good & it's seals did not appear to be leaking at this time so other than to clean them & refinished the lower Alloy fork legs etc etc (IE) as far as fluid levels etc. they are just as we received them and we have not tested the suspension as we are just now getting the Bike Running again & completing the cosmetic restoration on this Beautiful Bike, Over and Beyond this...In Her Cosmetic restoration process..We removed most every main component on the bike...nearly all the way down to her "Bare Frame" + Cleaned & refinished most every main component then hand reassembled ~every main item back onto her frame again "Piece by Piece".. She has I believe her Original 1977 Vintage Racing SUZUKI RM 125's Fuel tank that was stripped back to it's Extremely Dent Free (as You should be able to see in the included pictures) "BARE ALLOY Skin" & Brand New Graphic were just installed. We also cleaned, painted & refinished the; Frame, Air cleaner Box (Which Looks almost like a "NEW ONE", Hubs, Spokes, Exhaust Pipe (Tuned Exhaust system) & Her "Original SUZUKI 1977 "PICKLE" Muffler" (I saw a NOS RM Suzuki "PICKLE" Muffler like this for sale at a Bike Swap for $425.00 ! ! ! ). & we repainted her Nice Front fender & her rear fender etc.& we painted everything to match to a look very close to what I think a new one of these RM 125s would have looked NEW like back in 1977. We installed Brand New High Quality Vintage style rubber handlebar Hand Grips. Her "SIX SPEED" Gears Shift GREAT Her Clutch Releases & Grips GREAT just coming out of ~30+ years os storage Important thing is the Clutch does Grip GREAT & the more she runs the better it should work. She has BRAND NEW Gear Box OIL "MODOL" which is said to be the Very Best Gear oil you can get) She has her Original Fork Tube Rubbers which I think look & Feel almost likeBrand New looking Original 1977 SUZUKI Rubber Fork Tube Boots, She has almost "BRAND NEW" looking Vintage style MX Racing handlebars. Unlike most race bikes this also has a side stand, That can be easily & Quickly removed (with one bolt) if you would like to..So you can lift the bike on a Race Bike Stand & also I believe, she has updated clutch & front brake levers have also been updated along the way. The Shifter , Clutch, Brakes, kick Starter Lever All seems to work GREAT & do not appear to have any noticeable wear & or damage to them : She has a Brand New Clutch Cable & Upgraded NEW Filter Element. !!!PLEASE NOTE: We are just completing her Brand New cosmetic Restoration (as detailed above etc)...& "YOU" can be the Very First Owner of this Beautiful Bike since this was completed !

If you live inside California & If you race Vintage Bike Meets on Private MotoCross Tracks or (Vintage Bike Shows etc) the Notarized Calif. DMV "Bill of Sale" is all you will need. If for some reason ..you want to go cow trail ridding on California etc Government National Forest Land etc land & feel you a may want a National Forest etc DMV "Green Sticker" My Vehicle Registration Office said that because this bike had been in covered storage for many years (nearly the last 3 decades) therefore if you live here in California & feel for some reason you want or feel you need a California Forestry Land Green sticker (to ride in Government Forest etc land) Again it will be Easy because this bike is currently off the DMV Computer books & therefore there will be NO back fees (as after about 10 or 12 years DMV records fall off the DMV Computers) and Again, this California National Forest sticker is not required for MX & Other Race Tracks and also NOT required for Vintage Shows etc etc etc here in California & a California Nat.

I have had a lot of emails with shipping quotes all over the map...Therefore, When you try and Get a Shipping Quote... I would try & get several (many) shipping quotes (& get a estimated pick up date in writing) before you commit or finalize a deal & or make a deposit) with a shipper... as one of the last bikes I sold out of our collection went to North Carolina via USHIP.COM, (which is about 3,000 miles from here)...it was a 1975 YAMAHA 250 Enduro which weights nearly about double of what this auctions Magnificent 1977 RM 125 Vintage Racing Beauty Weights & he was only charged about 330 US dollars a few months ago...I think ebay may have a shipping site, but if you want a very competitive rate I would go thru Uship.com & get "Lots of Bids"...Keep in mind, I live Very Close to the Business Hub of Los Angeles & Also the L.A. Harbor areas & Millions of Trucks leave this area every day all you need to do is find a truck that has a little space & that is headed in your direction & I am sure the price would be a lot better for you than with some trucker that is not ! Again, If you need a shipper I would get "Lots of Quotes" (I have always had Great Luck with USHIP.COM & plan on "the rates will vary widely" (IE) as a trucker that is already here in Los Angeles Area & is already planning on going your direction will be a lot different rate than someone that is not already here & is not going in your direction...Also, please remind the trucking Co. you are getting the quote from that ..."This bike is a small nimble dirt bike & ONLY weights about 170 - 180 Pounds" (It is Not a "HUGE" 700 pound Harley etc) So the Shipping rate should be FAR Cheaper & Should definitely reflect that difference.Also, If it will get you a better Shipping Rate I will deliver this bike to any Los Angeles Based Shippers Distribution yard for "FREE" & or if you live out of the Country I will deliver this Bike to any Los Angeles Based International Shipper yard in the Los Angles Area for FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! On Aug-01-15 at 08:32:02 PDT, seller added the following information: I keep having to respond to emails that are covering pretty much the same thing... Please read thru the auction as "THIS IS A VERY LOW TIME BIKE"...Even My Mechanic feels the tires look to be the exact brand and size as what the Factory installed on this bike from the factory when this bike was new....& most likely may be the Originals that came from the Factory, They are still in good shape as are the the Fork tube boot etc etc. The chain also is in good working order. & this being a very low hour Bike the Sprockets All Look GREAT ! This bike is an AMAZINGLY GREAT RUNNING BIKE & most of the time She Starts before the kick starter even gets part way down it's stroke ! She Runs, Starts & Shift PERFECTLY as does Her Clutch & Brakes. I have restored many bikes & I never restored a bike from this era that is so Feisty & Ready to go ! (even before we cleaned her up as detailed above)...This was owned by an older gentleman that just let her sit in storage most of her life & luckily where he had her in storage it was "Climactically about Perfect"! as every thing of rubber etc looks and feels about Like New ! ! ... even Far better than any other Southern California Bikes we have gone thru in the last couple of decades. This bike for me is like a Time Machine of just how Great these Bikes were in there Day. There is SOOOOOOooo Much Life left in this bike ........I Personally Would Never consider changing anything out of her. I believe this has a SIX SPEED TRANS that like her clutch etc .."Works Perfectly" ! ! ! ! I feel this Bike is a BARGAIN for what we have her listed for. These RM 125 in Great Shape Are Nearly a NADA.com VALUE GUIDE for Just Under $5,000.00 & This BIKE is the "LAST YEAR that SUZUKI Offered the BEAUTIFUL ALLOY Fuel TANK" .. Which I think Really makes this Bike !!! Someone will Get an AMAZING & GREAT VINTAGE RACE-ABLE Bike For Peanuts !...I can' believe this is still up for sale as I originally started this listing on ebay for Well over $2,000.00......... On Aug-01-15 at 16:14:51 PDT, seller added the following information: "PLEASE NOTE": RESERVE IS JUST A VERY FEW OF DOLLARS BELOW THE BUY IT NOW PRICE (WHICH I HAVE ALREADY LOWERED Aprox $500.00 ) For a Quick "No Brainer" Sale.. ....So If YOU WANT THIS BIKE "THE BUY IT NOW" Price is about what it will take to get Her...If You wait till the auctions end you may get into a Bidding war ...& It could end up Way Past that amount ....as again a Nice Example of one of these NADA.com Value Guides for Nearly $5,000.00 & This is "The Very Last Year" of these RM 125 VINTAGE RACE-able BIKES That Still has the Very Desirable Aluminum Tank (which probably cost SUZUKI 30 times More than a Very Deteriorate-able Junk plastic tank & as you can see this ALLOY Tank is ~Perfect & "Nearly all of these early Alloy Tanks at this time have Dents & or Bondo on them & have just been painted over...Trust Me these tanks are Only Perfect Once ( As I have owned many Vintage RMs and this was the only ~Perfect tank I have ever seen ! Happy Bidding ....
